What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[thewoodlands]

We had 23.9 this morning before coffee, the basement temp started out at 72, both living area temps were 67 with the sleeper temp at 68.

I have the pellet stove going in one corner and the wood stove with a load of maple going in the other corner, that should get things warmer up here quicker.

Been doing about 50/50 oak sassafras mix loads recently.

 

[Ashful]

Still loading both stoves every night, with a full load in one and a partial in the other. They burn out by noon the next day, as we are warm enough here in the afternoons this week, to not need the additional heat.

33 this morning. One top down start and one reload. Got house up to temp. Just AM starts for now. Using wood in hand and some cutoffs. Don’t want to pull from a new stack.

Was good this morning temperature wise after last night's load. Warm day with solar gains. Currently 60 outside windy & sunny, 70 downstairs, 71 upstairs. Still milking the coals along trying to get them to tonight's load if I have one. Only going down to mid 40's, so if I do it will probably just be a shoulder season load.

We have an outside temp of 28.4 tonight, the basement temp is starting off at 75, both temps in the living area are 72 with the sleeper temp at 71. After having both stoves going this morning, the fan on the wood stove was shut off & we ran the pellet stove all day on the low setting.

Tonight we have another load of beech in the wood stove.

 

[Ashful]

Got one stove going, now! Full load of oak and maple. Dog usually sleeps in front of second stove, which is going cold now, so I guess she'll be adapting to new quarters tonight.

...up at 0430 to keep it going...filled it up with ash and a few apple twigs
43F with real feel at 39
keeping that elec bill at bay!

31 this morning load of maple, oak, mixed cutoffs and a biobrick. Will be it for today since temps rising quickly into the 50’s.

After supper I ran the pellet stove on medium in the low setting, that was shut off just before I started the overnight fire in the wood stove. That load has some beech, ironwood and some maple in it.

No fire yesterday with it sunny and 67, no overnight fire. Currently 34 outside, 67 upstairs and 66 downstairs. Pine and aspen fire to take the chill off. Sunny with a high of 61 forecast today.

Getting excited about a trip to the Northwoods this weekend with a trailer full of boxes. Haven't been there since October due to remodeling, holidays, and vehicle issues. My plan to have the house on the market by March has become May at the earliest...

No fire for the past few days, but yesterday AM the house was 65 upon waking up, it dipped down to 63 before the sun came around. By afternoon we got to 67 inside. I put 8 splits in last night around 7, as low 40s were the overnight temps, cloudy and high in the upper 40s today, 70 inside. Should be the norm for the next few days.

Just got home from the Northwoods. Had some nice fires in the Stratford II while up there. Loaded the NC30 with a good size load of pine and aspen as the house is 60 degrees. Letting it rip, then will have a full load of ash and ironwood tonight. It's currently 28 outside and windy. Will be steady burning again for awhile as there's no 50's in the forecast for at least 2 weeks and lows in the 20's & 30's.
